plasma cannon
Sci-fi heavy artillery
A plasma cannon is a science fiction weapon that fires superheated ionized gas—plasma—as a destructive projectile.
The concept appears across video games, films, and novels as a staple of futuristic arsenals: The alien ship's plasma cannon tore through our shields.
Real-world plasma weapons remain theoretical, though the term occasionally surfaces in military research contexts.
